Save as... will save the complete mail in the original rfc822 format, so you
will see it with all its encoding.

If you have the attachment tab open, then you can select any part of the
message, including the first text part and save it in the decoded format, so
Emacs can read it correctly.

If the attachment tab is not open (no mime parts), then you can still use the
actions to view the decoded message part:
xemacs %p
or xemacs %p&
or gnuclient %p
or gnuclient %p&

%p creates a local temporary file containing the decoded selected message part
(or message body if no mime part exists). The file is erased when Sylpheed is
exited or restarted.

& is for running the command asynchronously if you want to continue interacting
with sylpheed without waiting the command to end.

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to that action for more enhanced
productivity/improved computing experience (tm)...


Cheers
